TWELVE INSECTS IN BLACK & WHITE
There isn't much left to write in this post. The title says it all. Or almost all. I have some black and white photographs to show you. You'll see twelve species in twenty-two pictures. I won't tell you the scientific names and that kind of stuff. This post is here just to display some relatively cool pictures with no color. Have a good viewing.

And that's it. As always on Hive, the photographs are my work. As far as I'm concerned, the post ends here. What follows is just filler to make it look longer and more elaborate than it is.
It's a beautiful day. I'm writing these ramblings, and the weather outside is quite lovely. It is lovely indeed. Indeed. I always loved that word, even before I achieved a degree of knowledge that allows me to use indeed in a sentence. It's a warm and windy day. The wind is pretty strong for this season. It can blow right in your face if you decide to face it. I dreamed of traveling last night. That's the closest I came to traveling in the last two years. In my dream, I drove through a blue desert of some North African country. The dunes were blue under the red sky with flocks of small, scattered clouds that looked like amoebas in flames. More or less a month ago, in mid-July, a male rhinoceros beetle was flying around the lamp above the entrance door of my ground-floor apartment. The beetle was freneticaly flying, and kept falling, then flying again. It looked disoriented. I caught it and put it on one of the trees in my garden. From there, the beetle climbed one of the branches and flew away, disappearing high in the sky. I didn't photograph it, but ...

... but you can still see how a male European rhinoceros beetle looks, thanks to this old photograph I took in 2007. I have a feeling that the price of Hive will explode in September. It's just a feeling. A kind of feeling that left me disappointed quite a few times so far. We'll see. These days, I find myself daydreaming about the price reaching three or four dollars in October.
Waooo!! 😍👏 Excelentes fotos en blanco y negro de insectos !! 😉 La que mas detalles encontré es en la mosca. Buen trabajo @borjan 🤝 saludos
🙂
What fantastic photos!
Great photos. The black and white really brings out the details of each insect. It felt like I was visiting a different art gallery within nature. Your work is always unique and inspiring.
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you like the post. 🐞
There is a captivating beauty in the black and white images that can only be experienced with your own eyes. Thank you for sharing such beautiful images. May you live long.
I never knew there is a rhino insect, thanks for the education, nice photos by the way
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you find this post interesting.
I did, thanks too
The black-and-white photos exude great artistic beauty, with a classic feel to every frame.
Nice pictures of insects in their habitats. They look somewhat more picturesque in b&w. I assume you had some difficulty getting a good shot of the insects because some may have been moving at the time of taking the photographs. Thanks for sharing these.
Thank you. Glad you like the post.
I have never seen a European rhinoceros beetle before. It looks like an invasive insect. You have included some very beautiful black and white photos this time too. When observed very closely, you can see the behavior of these insects, flies and moths. If you get a chance to face a warm windy day, you can enjoy it very well.
Yes, they are very interesting to observe, especially through a magnifying lens that makes you see all the details.
Truly amazing insect's macro photos collection. That's best way to find their closer looks. I tottally love to all photos you have photographed.
🙂
Three or four dollars in October is the kind of dreams we all have .
Lovely Pictures bro...
With so many dreamers around, it may come true. 😆
😂😂
Wow! Another excellent shot from you! It’s amazing how much personality those little creatures have even without color.
🙂
You’re welcome! I really enjoy seeing your macro work, it’s fascinating.😍
Great pictures that you converted into monochrome, very cool shots. That snake fly is really cool looking, as is the mantis. That was good of you to rescue the rhinoceros beetle, it sounds like once it was in the tree it found it's way.
Interesting dreams of north Africa. I've never made it there, maybe one of these days. As for Hive, hopefully we'll see a nice push in the next month. BTC is holding strong, now we just need some of the alts to gain some steam! Hive over one dollar would be truly amazing, I'm crossing my fingers!
Awesome shots. Despite being in black and white forms, their beauty can be seen through the contours and pixels ranges.
For the first time I am seeing what a rhinoceros beetle looks like. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment. 🙂 Glad you like the post.
Wow!... B&W insect macro photography!... Wonderful!...
I loved this first photo, a "portrait of a fasmid", really out of the ordinary and rarely seen like this!
🙂
😂
Okayyy
The black and white pictures were just so perfect
Nice one!
The photos are amazing! Black and white really makes the details of the insects stand out. It’s nice to just enjoy the beauty of nature without always needing all the scientific info.

I wish your dreams and feelings to come true 🤩🤑🤑🚀🙏🏻.
👍
I won’t say anything more than “lovely pictures” because that is what they truly are…
I myself prefer black and white pictures. The way you have made them makes everything clear and we always get different and much better knowledge from your posts about beautiful types of insect's.
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you like the post.
It's less is more. The pictures themselves gave an explanation and they're beautiful as expected.
Even without no color all pictures looks amazing 😻
You had me at photography and an exploration of insects. Then sealed the deal with a Hive price explosion in September!
3 or 4$ would be HUGE!
Yes. I think the last time it peaked was a bit above 3 for a short period. 😀 That fact gives me a feeling of dreaming about fairly possible stuff.
